A Message From Fr. Charles Briggs
To All His Many Friends And Parishioners.

“Your Prayers would naturally be very much appreciated. As a Priest, I am well familiar with The Truths of our Faith concerning the last things of Death, Judgement, Hell, and Heaven, but the end of life here below is a trial for which none may presume on being fully prepared to face.

“I will offer up my sufferings; for you, my dear family and friends, in reparation for my sins, and in union with our dear Saviour’s redeeming Sacrifice on The Cross.

“My apologies if I do not get to say “Goodbye”, personally,
but, as Saint Thomas More said:
“Pray for me, as I will for thee,
that we may merrily meet in Heaven” ”.

Fr. Charles Briggs.


Dear Jesus: Pray for him.
Dear Holy Mother Mary: Pray for him.
Dear Saint Charles Borromeo: Pray for him.

  1. “ Pray for me as I will for thee, that we may meet merrily in heaven.” What a wonderful farewell statement.

    Can it already be two years, nearly? Hard to believe. -Dante P
